Prepare broadly and show that the National Group wants to act on issues that go beyond its foundations, even if that means catching the opposition. Marine Le Pen announced this Tuesday morning the bills that her party will present in the chamber on January 12 during her parliamentary niche.
This constitutional mechanism allows opposition groups to have control over the agenda of the National Assembly on a regular basis. This opportunity to make his political agenda heard will take up classics from the movement. Beginning with the presumption of legitimate defense of the members of the police, already contained in the presidential program of the former candidate for the Élysée.
Resuming of LFI text on unvaccinated caregivers
The RN group also takes over the proposal of La France insoumise to reinstate caregivers who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19. Carried out by the deputy Caroline Fiat on November 25, after a very stormy session, the parliamentarians had not been able to carry out the examination of the text.
While they only have until midnight on the day of their parliamentary niche to convince their colleagues, Marine Le Pen might be tempted to present it at the start of the session. What gives cold sweats to the government that opposes him while the LR, the RN and part of the Nupes are very favorable to him.
“Good luck to the deputies who reject aid for battered women”
Marine Le Pen’s movement also wants to bring other texts that it considers highly agreed upon, such as the one that creates “universal emergency aid for victims of domestic violence.” Unanimously approved by the Senate and supported by UDI senator Valérie Létard, this proposal was a blessing for a party that was seeking notabilization.
“Good luck to the deputies who reject aid for battered women. It is impossible not to vote for this type of text and then assume it in the media,” one of the heavyweights of the final RN group explained to BFMTV.com. October
Aware of the trap set, the conference of presidents gathered during Marine Le Pen’s press conference finally proposed including this text the week of January 16, allowing the presidential majority to retake it on their own.
Another proposal that wants to transcend political divisions: the one defended by Laure Lavalette who wants to extend the “members’ right to visit” to social and medical-social establishments, such as prisons. On the viewer: the Ehpad, after the scandal of the book Les Fossoyeurs by Victor Castanet that pointed to mistreatment in nursing homes in Orpea, one of the giants in the sector. In case of approval of this text, the deputies will be able to visit them without prior notice.
Wearing a uniform at universities, a nod to LR
The right could also be tempted to say yes to the bill on uniforms in schools and colleges. During the televised debate for the LR presidency, Eric Ciotti, Aurélien Pradié and Bruno Retailleau all three positioned themselves in favor of a single group in schools.
Another text could also collect the votes of the LR deputies: the abolition of low emission zones. Released to improve air quality while pollution is believed to be the cause of almost 100,000 premature deaths in France every year, Its objective is to prevent the circulation of the most polluting vehicles in certain areas, mainly in the center of cities. Ultimately, cars made before 1997 and diesels made before 2001 could be banned in 45 cities with more than 150,000 inhabitants by 2023. The RN sees this as the symbol of “punishing ecology.”
If the movement does not get to examine a maximum of 5 texts in the hemicycle, they will all be studied in commission. Enough to allow a good exhibition of the work of its 89 deputies and to bring to light a few days before the government presents its bill on its immigration policy.
